Redirect to original
Description
Based on the following comic:[link]
and soon to be entered in their fan art contest, where the theme is to take one or more of the comic's original (but still always based on Nintendo) characters and put them in new environments!
In this, I decided to turn Chain Link into a hero made entirely out of small metal trinkets, and also do the same to the other two crest carriers! Can you name all the pieces?
I put a lot of detail into the characters, and most of the time was spent figuring out what kind of pieces to use where!
There's also a tiny cameo of a more major original BitF character in there. See if you can find it.
And if you haven't read Brawl in the Family yet, I suggest you do it now. All of it.
Thanks to for coming up with a bunch of junk to use! It sounds pointless but IT'S REALLY REALLY HARD!

I am not aware of any words that are able to describe how awe inspiring this. But I do have a few questions; what are their clothes made from, is that steel wool on Ganon's mane, and what is bottom of Zelda's dress made from?

Thanks a lot!
Yeah, the clothes are supposed to be aluminium foil, although slightly colored
(I know the image isn't aluminium, but I am completely sure they exist! xD)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
(My apologies for the late reply)
Alright! And yes, they do exist. My grandma used to use them.
Oh, and I was wondering, did you mean to make Link a righty? Because I noticed that had you flipped the pic, then not only would he be a lefty, but everyone would in the proper place of their Triforce.
But that's just me.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh yeah, I didn't think of the Triforce thing. But Chain Link being a righty comes from the comic strip which the picture is based on.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Again, I'm very embarrassed about the late reply. Curse the fun of summer vacation.
I've never read that comic, but I greatly respect your idea of adding a reference to it! Very creative!
Oh, and by the by, would you happen to have a link to the strip? I would very much like to read it now.

Haha, don't worry about that! Just two more days and I'm off as well.
Here you go:

He made a short series of yarn stories around the release of Kirby's Epic Yarn, this being one of them.

Alright then! Thank you very much!

Thank you, too! It's been like one and a half year since I made this, but it's still fun to discuss!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Anytime! It's aways fun to discuss something you like, isn't it?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Absolutely!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with Link and Zelda, but unfortunately I don't like Ganon as much. His overall shape was hard to me to make out, there's not too much resemblance to his real model, and upon closer inspection the parts he is made up of don't really seem linked together. Sorry!
I would totally buy this game, no matter how annoying little lightbulb Navi would be!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You have no idea how difficult it was to piece Ganon together 
Thanks for the criticism, I'll make sure to take it into consideration!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
All minor gripes aside though I really REALLY love it 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Hah, not a bad idea
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Just love it, but there's just a few things... Link is left handed, Ganon's too awsome, Navi's wings should have been soda can openers, Ganon's too awsome... Other than that, I love it...
OH! And Ganon's too awsome.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks, mate!
I can adress some of those problems, but then again, thanks for looking into the details ;D
1. Chain Link, from the BitF comic, is right handed! I thought several times about flipping the image of him, but decided not to, to really establish a connection between this guy and the comic one. Since his version was probably made faster than this one, he probably just happened to make him right-handed without intention
2. I'll make up for it, I promise!
3. Navi is a light emitting diode, and those naturally have legs pointing out from the bottom, so I used those as wings! Besides, there's a can opener in Zelda's torso, of a more European design: [link]
4, 5. I don't think he's awesome enough!! >
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well I was thinking of finding those pieces of junk and making that Ganon when I get a chance. I see a hamster ball, chains, magnets, fork, bells, cookie cutter, tuna can, whistle, fish hooks, bolts, nails... Don't know about the eyes and is the hair made of steel wool?
But yeah if I get a chance (and the stuff) I want to do that.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The butt is actually supposed to be a boule ball, but otherwise, you're spot on
The eyes are just golden links, like the eyes for Link and Zelda. I couldn't come up with something that looked enough like a couple of eyes, so I walked a safe road.
The hair is steel wool, correct!
And if you ever create it, you HAVE to take a picture and show me
The other two are a bit impossible to create in real life, but Ganon actually seems plausible when you think about it...

I FOUND THE CAMEO
Yeah, it's awesome. Totally gonna win~!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCH you knew about it beforehand! :I Or maybe you just forgot about that and are totally clever anyway.
Maybe I should credit you for all the stuff you came up with.
Ya I'm gonna do that!
Thanks
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I... didn't forget, but I can assure you I'm totally clever anyway.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW you're welcome.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I wonder if others have found it but just not understood that it's the hidden cameo?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
If they find it, they'll definitely realise it!

This is easily the best entry I've seen yet for the January contest.
You'll definitely win, unless, of course......

Thanks, man
One thing I really know this entry lacks is MOTION, which Ame-Nami handled extremely well in the last contest winning submissio. Let's say I'm excited to see what'll show up

This is such a brilliant idea. In a way the pic reminds me of '9' which has characters and monsters made out of everyday objects. I like the details and colours here.
Awesome job.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you very much
I've heard some so-so comments about 9's storyline, but I've been meaning to check it out because of the beautiful art style. From what I've seen, there are some brilliant designs in there that I honestly would like to know more about.
